After visiting Gettysburgh multiple times I will always associate President Eisenhower with that very important place where the powers of hate and human exploitation were defeated at great cost to this country. Gettysburgh is the place where the confederacy might have had its best chance to attack Washington had it won the battle - the place where the stakes were highest.
